Testimonial

""ATTENTION ALL FATHERS- After calling so many other attorneys and letting them know my situation, none seemed as confident and knowledgable as Mrs. Mary Ramos. She doesn't boggle you with all the possible scenarios, she knows what to do and how to do it. In my experience with her she puts other attorneys to shame. I am thankful for the full and complete help from Mrs. Ramos and her entire staff, including Christina. Thank you for getting me custody of my son.""- E. K. on Nov 25, 2014.

Cost Of A Divorce

How Much Does A Divorce Cost?

No idea we have. Yes, hmmm… (In our best attempt at a Yoda voice.)

In all seriousness, no attorney can predict the cost of a contested family law case. If they choose to, they are misrepresenting the process and in the end you will be stuck with a fat bill. While we make every effort to keep costs under control, the total cost could hinge on the client providing information in a timely manner or doing some leg work such as organizing financial statements and active participation. That said, in our effort to help our client’s unlock the path to happiness, we can provide the previous year’s average case cost.

A word of caution, DO NOT use the following values as a bible for what your family law or divorce case will cost. It is our experience that the cost of these cases can and will fluctuate.

Our 2017 Cost Details*:

Average Cost: $10,270

Most Expensive: ~$100,000

Least Expensive: $2,500

*Does not include any clients who are closing out or simply paid for an additional consultation to avoid skewing the average.

Why is the cost of divorce so expensive?

We are in the business of helping our clients find peace and happiness and what we’ve found is that a divorce is as expensive as the parties allow it to get. There are some cases where the estate is sizable and as long as both parties stay cordial the cost of the divorce is minimal. On the other hand, there are some cases with limited assets where we feel we can finalize under a few thousand that grows to tens of thousand. Essentially, both parities are in full control of cost, if every issue has to be litigated in court then HECK YES the cost WILL INCREASE. If as a client, you choose not to participate or provide the required information the cost will increase as we will be required to follow up with you and do everything possible to prepare the case for the best possible outcome.

As you narrow your selection on who to hire, decide what you really want out of the divorce. Our goal is not to take a sizable chunk in attorneys fees, but instead to achieve the best possible results while helping you find peace and happiness.

Why don’t all firms post cost information online?

Most firms want to get you in the door to increase the likelihood of closing the deal. They won’t provide retainer information or any idea of what an average case costs. WE ARE DIFFERENT, we don’t hide the ball, we want you to be an informed consumer who has all the information required to make the right call.
